Mixed media illustrations depict various camouflage methods that animals use. Two-page spreads show readers how different animals use similar techniques (colors, body shapes, behavior) to blend in and hide—as leaves, twigs, desert, and snow. Includes an index, but there is no table of contents or sources, which hinders its use. A lack of photographs limits the appeal to younger readers who might be more interested in seeing pictures of real animals.
